The Overworld is a rainforest with stereotypical high amounts of rainfall and a constant overcast sky. The thin canopy is primarily composed of indigenous [[Glowing Spidervine]]s and [[Red Starburst]]s, the respective bioluminescence and color of which lend some variety to an otherwise monochromatic overhang. The Overworld floor boasts lush foliage, including exotic, [[Radioactive Lichen|radioactive lichen]],<ref>{{cite|This lichen seems to be giving off low levels of radiation.

The tendency of native plantforms to adapt quickly to changes in geography evidence their hardy nature, as is illustrated by the permeation of foliage in the Crashed Frigate.
